The sections of the head in any suitable way. Such means should provide for ready exchange of heads or faces. As shown the faces are held together at the top by some suitable fastener is and at the bottom by a link l9 which is pivotally mounted on one section and engages over a pin in the other.

A globe is positioned between the faces for illuminating them. This globe is mounted on a support 2i which may have resilient depending legs or prongs which engage the sides of the neck portion l2 for firmly holding the light or lights in place. The bulb or bulbs 20 may be colored any suitable tint to give the desired effect to the face.

The faces I4 and I5 will preferably be made of transparent or translucent material of any color. Examples of such material are glass, celluloid, mica, glucose, waterproofed paper or other waterproofed material. The faces may even be made of sheet metal or partly of sheet metal with parts of transparent material.

Heads having faces of seals or foxes may obviously be used as well as the heads or faces of any other animal.

Lights may be placed in the heads just described, the faces all being made of transparent may be held together or translucent material.
